IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled,
IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server.
Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address.
(DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.)
IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station
is attached. (Note you can manage the switch through any configured
IP interface.) Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.0.0.0)
Gateway IP address – IP address of the gateway router between this
device and management stations that exist on other network segments.
(Default: 0.0.0.0)
MAC Address – The MAC address of this switch.
Restart DHCP – Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.
